She was impressed to learn that Katherine Dunn is our own local Portland legend. A couple weeks back, a guy skated up on roller blades and looked at my library. When he saw Dunn's book, he said "Hey, she used to live in the apartment next to ours. We could hear her typing all hours." He also said that someone had tried to mug Katherine Dunn as she walked home from the grocery store, and she'd given the person a right hook, and then pinned them down until the cops came.
